The Cause of Truth Rising

By H. N. Bates

From Bro. Bates.

DEAR BRO. WHITE:—The cause of truth is still rising in this place, although we have some severe trials to pass through, but if our trust is in God, he will soon bring us with the 144,000, to stand on mount Zion with the Lamb. We have not had any one to preach to us since Bro. Bates left; but we are striving to keep God's commandments and attain unto the faith of Jesus. We hope the Lord will send some of his ministering servants here soon. Souls are starving for the truth. O that sinners [law-breakers] would arouse from their slumbers while mercy lingers, is my prayer.

Yours waiting for Christ, H. N. BATES.
